Aquarius Horoscope

August 12, 2013

A sense of gratitude today may have you acknowledging your wealth of blessings in the midst of a troubled world. This perspective may have you feeling mature and wise. In our quest for happiness, we often focus on what we have not attained rather than all that we have right now. But happiness is an emotion that can only be experienced in the present. If we do not have the ability to be happy with the blessings we have in the here and now, nothing can make us happy in the future. Regardless of how many possessions we have or the level of comfort we attain, happiness is a state of being. It is a choice to be fully present and acknowledge all the good in your experience. As you walk through your life with gratitude today, you show others the path to true happiness.

In modern society, we are so fortunate that we sometimes don't know what to do with ourselves. We have the freedom of choice, time, and abundance, yet we may still feel limited. But we have the luxury to create our lives with our minds, and we do. Whatever we are experiencing right now is what we have created. If we aren't enjoying what we've created, we have the freedom to change it. Change may not come easily, but sometimes we cannot appreciate something unless it requires work. So today, with gratitude as your guide, you can choose to enjoy what you've created and make your changes wisely.
